We support you

We here in why did you join the union and on behalf of the members of the TWU Local 100 support the American Postal Workers Union AFL-CIO (APWU) and National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association (NRLCA). We are with you in seeking a just contract for the benefit of the membership.

It is always the blue collar workers who get the short end of the stick and we here in why did you join the union see the similarity of your situation with ours. We both have executives who have secured send away golden parachutes coupled with unimaginable and unfathomable benefits, while the blue collar workers have to fight to get a 2% or 4% raise. The blue collar workers are living from paycheck to paycheck and have to make ends meet while the prices are soaring upwards. It is a real privilege in siding with our fellow brethren APWU & NRLCA in this day and age when unions are challenged like never before by the executives and republicans who run amok.

We here in why did you join the union and on behalf of the members of the TWU Local 100 believe in you, and we know and have heard the executives when they utilize rhetoric of the dire financial status in the hope of denying the blue collar workers their rightfully and deserved raise. We the blue collar workers have serious different points of view from the executives with regard to our pay, work rules, health benefit, pension and numerous other issues.

We here in why did you join the union and all other unions couldn’t tolerate the thought of being denied the right to ask for a raise. Since we the blue collar cannot earn the luxurious pay coupled with the golden parachutes that the management earn we will not be deterred until the day when the ratio of compensation between a blue collar worker and the executive is balanced. We here in why did you join the union do not agree with the current discriminatory compensation method that views the management compensation as quasi-fixed cost and the blue collar worker as a variable cost. We refuse to be paid on an hourly basis, whereas the white collar receive monthly salaries.
